"Federal Judge Mandates Safe and Timely Housing for Migrant Children at Border Camps"

A federal judge in California has ruled that migrant children held in open-air desert camps by US Customs and Border Protection must be expeditiously processed and placed in safe and sanitary facilities. The judge's order comes after children's rights attorneys argued that federal immigration officials directed migrants to these camps without providing adequate food, water, shelter, and medical services. The judge also ordered CBP to file an interim report by May 10 on the number of minors held in open-air sites and how the agency has complied with the order.
